Synopsis:
This Latin-language volume is a facsimile of an ancient Greek papyrus from the Ptolemaic period, discovered in the 18th century and now held in the Museo Borgiano in Velletri, Italy. The papyrus contains a detailed description of the construction of an irrigation system in the Arsinoite nome, a province of ancient Egypt. This edition includes commentary by modern scholars Nicola Schow and Stefano Borgia, who provide historical background and analysis of the papyrus.
